In Fall of 2011, Adrianna began work on her first cookbook, PANCAKES: 72 Sweet and Savory Recipes for the Perfect Stack, which was published by St. Martin's Press in May 2013. The book is a collection of savory and sweet parings like ginger pear, maple bacon, coconut and more savory fare like bacon-wrapped meatloaf cakes, duck-fat pancakes and smoked gouda latkes, plus old favorites updated. Together the book is a delicious, wide-ranging collection of pancake recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I was quite surprised when a friend suggested I watch the original episodes on YouTube. In the British version, they have these wonderful history bits about what the contestants are baking. Thoroughly enjoyable. Not sure why PBS omitted them.

i missed the first 15 minutes and the first bake because the show started a half hour earlier than ever before ... probably because it's pledge month. Now the network won't allow me to view it online because I watch it in Canada and there is some problem with 'rights'. Boo to you PBS. You'll take my money but what do I get now?

You could use whatever chocolate bar or chips you prefer. The darker the chocolate, the higher the percentage. I'd use semi-sweet or milk choc. Amazon sells 36% chocolate if you really want it. Looks like they're calling it milk chocolate.
